| User ReviewLove MLoved it, have a soft spot for zombie movies, this is like no other! This one made me jump and cover my eyes! WTG! |
| User ReviewNicole SI loved the film and would rate it higher if I could. I have to say I never thought there would be so much humour in a horror film. When I wasn't hiding behind my chair I was laughing out loud! The story line was amazing and makes you question how far you would go for family! The film took family love to a different level and still days later I'm talking about it and wanting to see it again! |
| User ReviewEugene FA delightful genre cocktail (The Snapper meets Shaun of the Dead meets Val Lewton meets...) perfectly balancing moments of gut-wrenching laughter and gut-eating horror. Its depiction of a Dublin working-class family and a community riven by zombie plague effortlessly combines social analysis (tensions between family-community, omnivore vs. carnivore, abortion, medical research, the Catholic church, etc.) and an intelligent approach to genre bending. The gorgeous cinematography, top-notch acting, compact editing and masterful sound design belie the movie's indie credentials. It's totally enjoyable, engrossing, immersing you in a squalid Dublin working class netherworld infected with a communal bloodlust relieved only by ordinary human emotions. See this one. Zombie-movie aficionados will love its stomach-heaving set pieces; lovers of disturbing, psychological horror will appreciate its subtle night-terrors. Bailey offers you a plate of meat if that's what you require...but with a nice salad on the side. This and Terry McMahon's equally-impressive Charlie Casanova make a strong case for an Independent Irish cinema. |
| User ReviewAlec MNot the movie I had initially expected. When I got to see it had a much more comedic aspect that I didn't expect, initially that caught me off guard but after a few minutes I got into it. Overall it was a very well executed film. Just the right mix of humor and drama for my taste. |
| User ReviewLee BA interesting little indie, it has a unique format and a different story from most zombie flicks. It gets a little slow at times, and the ending starts to get a bit more generic, but the film ultimately ended up better than expected. |
